We all get those emails in our in-boxes—you know the kind, right? They go something like this:

Imagine the warmth of a tropical breeze as you dig your toes into white sand. The tinkling of a distant ukulele caresses your ears as the clear aqua tide laps the sandy beach before you.

With your laptop nestled between your deeply-tanned brown legs and washboard stomach, you perform a few quick keystrokes, pull up your online dashboard and discover several deposits into your checking account—sales commissions from your new internet business.

“You’re $50,000 richer overnight.

“Wow,” you chuckle to yourself. “Who would ever believe I could make this kind of money in just a couple weeks? Working only minutes a day?”

You close the laptop and drift off into a contented slumber. Tomorrow you’ll awake, completely refreshed with plenty of energy to check your dashboard again and count your growing fortune.

Yeah…. Right.

Let me assure you right now that you’re not going to see or hear anything like that at the IM Freedom Workshop. (“IM” stands for “Internet Marketing.”)

IM Freedom is a FREE two-hour live event where you will discover Matt Lloyd’s proven business system that’s paid out more than $70 million in commissions to people in 38 countries around the world.

These are commissions of $1,250, $3,300, $5,500, and more, on a single sale.

Plenty of people have used this system to profit from the Internet and attain financial freedom:

* Darren Salkeld, from Canada, $7.9 million

* Paul Lynch, from the UK, $1.9 million

* Bill and Michelle Pescosolido, from Florida, $848,000

Now, those kinds of numbers aren’t typical, but they show you what is possible with the right training. And that’s the kind of training you will receive at the IM Freedom Workshop.

Let me be totally clear: Many people have gotten rich with this system, but it’s not “get-rich-quick.” The system doesn’t do the work. It enables you do it:

* No guesswork

* No coding or website-building

* No cold calling

* No business experience necessary

It’s like a path that has been completely marked out. All you have to do is walk on it.

You just need to arrive at the IM Freedom Workshop. When you hear about Matt’s system, it will make perfect sense.

The idea of a funnel is used to illustrate the process a potential client goes through as they become familiar with your products or services.

Visually, clients enter the funnel at the widest part, the top, then proceed to descend, stage by stage, leaving at the level they lose interest. What you end up with at the bottom are the final few who have purchased and love your product or service. These are the clients that will keep coming back

Your goal is to raise the number of potential clients that enter the top and lower the number that loses interest at each stage.

To accomplish this, you will need to have a conversion tactic for each stage.

There are a few different Funnel maps out there that vary in their vocabulary but each basically means the same thing, for the sake of this article, we’ll go with the following terms:

Awareness

Interest

Conversion

Loyalty

Advocacy

Using Email Marketing to Get a Client All the Way to the Bottom

Now that you understand how a marketing funnel works, let’s discuss email marketing plans for each.

Awareness

The top of your marketing funnel is awareness. This is when the potential client finds out you exist but doesn’t know anything about your product yet. At this level, you should start showing them the value of your product or service. This can be done with free informative content, such as a free eBook on product related subjects.

Interest

At this level, potential clients are starting to show an interest in your company and products and want to know more.

You also know more about the client, which allows you to send them more targeted content that can relate how your product or services can help them. This email could include specific items that you believe will be beneficial to them and even include an invitation to a free consultation or demonstration.

Conversion

Now you potential client is aware of the value of your product or service and it’s time for them to decide if they are ready to purchase.

Here, you start communicating to the client why your product and service is better than your competitors’ and perfect for them.

Loyalty

OK, you’ve made the sale, your potential client has graduated to the title of actual client. Your work is not over, however, not even close.

Now you need to implement your plans to keep them.

Repeat and long term clients are a wonderful asset for any business. Help keep these valuable assets by continually engaging them with fun and useful content such as educational emails related to upcoming products or surveys asking them their opinions on potential changes coming. Make them feel like their opinion really matters to you.

They’ve probably purchased or used your services several times because they adore you. The best part? They start telling everyone about your and how great your products or services are!

Word of mouth, still the best way to gain more potential clients that will stick.

Now, as you start to recognise these special clients, you can start sending them special requests like emails asking them to refer you to their friends. You could even create a version of your initial email sent to the Awareness level that they can forward to friends and family they think would most benefit from your products or services.

Now you have the information you need to plan your own email campaign and begin to channel your potential clients all the way to being actual clients.

By developing your email strategy with the marketing funnel in mind, you’ll convert more prospects into customers and more customers into fans, which means more money for your business. Yay!

Whether they are inserted into the header or placed within the main body of text, images are an illustration of you contents core idea. Including simple images that relate to as wide an audience as possible will help maximize the work your content can do.

Where Can I Find Photos?

There are a number of places on the web you can find royalty free images that are free to download. Even more where you can pay to download. The easiest way to find the latest resources is to do a search for “Royalty Free Images.”

No matter where you go for images, it’s vitally important to give proper attribution when required. A good rule of thumb for attribution is to credit the contributor of the image and include the website where you found it, ie: “Photo Courtesy of ABCD from FreePics.com.”

The same goes for a registered trademark or trademarked product. For example, if Nike Swoosh or an actual Nike product is seen in the photo, include a statement like, “Nike, the Nike logo, and Nike Products are trademarks of Nike Inc., registered in the U.S. and internationally.”

Image SEO

According to most experts in the SEO field, Keywords appear to be the end all be all of SEO. Primary Keywords, secondary Keywords, Google “Keyword” and the list of sources of info will probably go on forever. With Image SEO the first location to use your primary keyword will be the image filename.

The right filename will let a search engine know what the image is about. This means if your image is a women’s top in a specific abstract design, the file name shouldn’t be DSC12345.jpg. Instead, you want to rename it “ann-monique-womens-top-abstract-v.” This gives the search engine spiders something to grab onto and take back to their part of the web.

Start a file name with a lowercase letter or a number and remove all spaces. For multiple words, join them with a dash.

Loading times can be crucial for websites to maintain traffic. The faster the site, the easier to visit it. Images can have a huge impact on this. Standard resolution for a screen image is 72ppi and most web pages won’t need an image to be more than 1000-1200 pixels wide. To put that into perspective, a typical smart phone camera today will give you an image at 72 ppi but the file will often be over 3000 pixels wide (or more).

There are a few online image editors that work quite well and often don’t cost a thing or have a minimal membership fee with added benefits. Two are PicMonkey and Pixl.

When uploading your image, you will often be given an option to add “alt text” or “alt tags.” This is also another good place to use your keyword placement.

In most e-commerce catalog pages, the product is shown in a specific place on the page that doesn’t overlap any other image or text. JPEG images are most commonly used for this. I’m adding this quick highlight in case a need arises for you to remove the background of a photo.

JPEG images include a visible background showing behind any curves or irregular lines. If you’ve taken the trouble to remove the background of the photo of a product but save it as a JPEG (JPG), you will still be stuck with a background color when you re-open it.

PNGs allow you to make the background transparent so it can be used over any color, texture or other text. This can be helpful if you decide to show multiple products in one virtual shot but don’t have the means to retake the photo.

GIF images are a much lower quality than JPEGs or PNGs. Best for small decorative images and icons it is doubtful you will have a reason to use them on a product page. Most often they are used to float basic logos over pages or header graphics since they can be saved with transparent backgrounds, like PNGs.

Even if it takes extra time to find just the right image for a post, the increase in SEO and lead generation make it worth your time.

From e-commerce websites to furniture wholesalers, small businesses are discovering the marketing capability of Craigslist.org.

If you provide a service or sell wholesale or resale products, Craigslist is a tool to add to your marketing arsenal. On Craigslist, users know they will find what they are looking for nearby, so they don’t get stuck sifting through ads for service providers that are located on the other side of the country.

Posting on Craigslist does require that you follow their rules. The site has some general policies as well as specific ones that vary based on the category of your ad. Failure to follow these will cause your ad to be flagged and removed from view.

Excessive flags could lead your account being closed permanently, so stay up to date on any changes in policy that may occur from time to time.

It is possible to adhere to the rules and still get plenty of engagement with prospective buyers or clients.

If you’ve never considered using Craigslist for marketing, this information may help you decide.

Identify Your Market

The first thing you’ll need to do is determine where you want your ads to be posted. Not all areas are city specific. A good way to find your target areas is to start by choosing the State you reside in.

When you select a State, you will be given a list of all the Craigslist sites that are in that State.

For example, if you select Florida you will see a list that includes Orlando and Tallahassee but also shows the Treasure Coast, North Central FL, and South Florida with a notation that this option includes separate sections for Miami/Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties.

From there you can determine which area or areas you want to target.

Build Your Ad

Once you’ve found your target areas, you want to develop a posting schedule for each one and create ads that are area specific.

Once upon a time, you could create an entire HTML and CSS coded ad from scratch that coordinated with your Branding. However, the site decided it wanted to focus on keeping a user-friendly option for everyone, not just the tech savvy or paid post designers.

Fortunately, they did improve the design of the basic ad layout, the biggest improvement being room for additional photos. Where you used to be limited to 6 and then 12 photos, you are now able to include up to 24. This is a huge advantage if you are selling a product.

Even though Craigslist is designed for the “common man” to easily post ads for sale, as a professional you want to make sure your ad looks as polished as possible.

Here are some easy ways to make sure you look like a business and not someone trying to clean out their garage:

Use High-Quality Photos

This means hiring a photographer or investing in a good camera and not just using the one that came with your smart phone. Make sure photos are well lit and most importantly, STRAIGHT.

If you choose to take the photos yourself, it would be a good idea to have access to photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop, or creating an account with one of the online photo editors like PicMonkey.com.

Try to Use Headers and Bulleted or Numbered Lists

This makes the ad easier to read and less likely to be skipped by the user.

Since there isn’t a text editor available for posts, you can make headers stand out by capitalizing each word or making them all caps. To create a bullet list, you’ll need to use a symbol available on your keyboard like the asterisk found over the 8 or a dash.

Now you know that Craigslist is not just for people getting ready to move or looking for romance in the personal ads. If used properly, it can bring in new traffic and leads, introducing you to clients spanning a wide variety of interests and businesses.

For more information and to get up to date guidelines visit Craigslist.org and get started today.

When was the last time you spontaneously called in to your supervisor or boss and said “Listen, I need to take the morning and part of the afternoon off to (activity of your choice). I’ll get my work done later on today.”

Even better, when was the last time your boss/supervisor easily agreed to that kind of request?

Probably never.

Most jobs don’t allow for that kind of time freedom.

Let’s say that you make a salary of $50,000 a year at your job. Did you ever say to yourself, “This year, I’m going to hit $100,000 (or $500,000 or whatever) at my job”? What about telling your boss, “I want you to pay me based on the results I get, not for the hours I spend in this office.”

Did you ever actually double your salary at your job in a year? Did you ever increase it by even 25 percent?

It’s doubtful, since jobs don’t usually offer that kind of financial freedom.

What about doing your job from home instead of driving to your place of employment every day? What if you wanted to work from wherever you are—a beach, an RV, a coffeeshop, or even another country?

A significant number of people are able to “telecommute” today but the majority of jobs don’t provide for that kind of locational freedom.

As far as work is concerned, most people spend their entire life this way. But that’s no reason for you to go on doing it.

You can live your life by your own rules.

Tonight, in just a couple of hours, you can find out about a type of online business that will allow you have time, location, and financial freedom.

It’s all contained in Matt Lloyd’s book, IM Revolution, which is now available. (The “IM” stands for “Internet Marketing.”)

Back in 2008, Matt was a frustrated affiliate marketer. He knew the Internet had a huge income potential but the learning curve—all the technical subjects he had to master in order to create an effective, hugely profitable online marketing system—was pushing his pay day further and further into the future.

It took a few years of struggle and more than $100,000 but he figured it out…and it worked! Matt went from making $700 a month to bringing in $5,000, $10,000, $80,000 and eventually more than $315,000 per month.

IM Revolution is a system that you can learn about, plug into, and start making money with in your spare time—less than an hour a day:

Scott Dudley, from Australia, made $2,910 in his first 30 days using the IM Revolution system.
Tony Opee, from California, made $3,000 in commissions in the first week that he started using the system.
In less than 60 days, Andrea Goodsaid, from Gainesville, Florida, made $15,396 in commissions, using the system described in IM Revolution.

One of the reasons our partners can make such serious amounts of money in such a short time is the back-end commissions that are built into the system.

You will learn all about this in IM Revolution, but briefly, the system includes a live sales force who follow up with your leads and make additional sales on your behalf—sales of premium products—for which you make a generous commission.

Sounds crazy? It’s not. It works—I know: I am making these commissions regularly. And it will make total sense to you after you pick up a copy of IM Revolution and read it for yourself.

The sooner you understand IM Revolution, the closer you will be to enjoying the time, location, and money freedom you desire and deserve.

Matt has priced it very low so there’s very little risk to you. It’s a tiny investment that can open the door to living life by your rules.

No longer the “New Kid in Town.” Social Media and its marketing resources have gone from a compulsive form of recreation for many to a fundamental piece of any business plan, large or small.

What is still not readily known by many business owners and managers is that use of social media by companies and their employees can seriously compromise a businesses’ security. Very often, when it comes to maintaining safety and security via social media, employees can end up being the biggest issue.

Whether it’s from posting on their personal page about things happening at work, or clicking on things they shouldn’t while using an office computer, employees can accidentally leak information or download mal-ware into your network without even realize they are doing it.

To help avoid the issues that can result in these seemingly small actions, here are some tips to assist you in keeping your business and your employees safe from social-media troubles, both at work and at home.

Advise Employees to Avoid Posting Info About Where They Work

Even though you can’t stop an employee from telling people where they work, explain that like giving out their home address and phone number online, revealing where they work can make it easy for people to find them and collect more info on their daily routine.

Employees should also be informed that associating the company with a personal account on questionable social networks could hurt the company and, by default, hurt the employee as well.

Keep Privacy Settings Updated

This is important on two fronts. First, train your employees how to maintain their own accounts’ privacy settings, this will lessen the possibility of unauthorized info getting leaked.

On your businesses’ accounts, it’s likely you don’t know most of the followers you’ve cultivated. Taking steps to secure those accounts as much as possible, with privacy settings that will work best for your company, will significantly add to your online security

Establish Work Place Use of Social Media

Most of us have done it, checked our Facebook page during lunch or a break. Instead of trying to ban the use of social media on work computers, it may be better to create some policies on how to use it instead.

For instance, stating that visitation of these sites may only be made during breaks and that the use of apps like games, quizzes, or anything else that requires clicking on links, are prohibited on company computers. Putting these policies in place will assist you in avoiding issues that can affect your network.

Make Sure Your IT Specialists Are Trained to Handle Social Media Specific Issues

Once you’ve established an office policy for Social Media use, it will need to be enforced. This means ongoing surveillance of online activities. To accomplish this, invest in consulting, and antivirus protection via software and hardware.

Additionally, the company’s technical staff will need to be updated about current social-media security risks.

A Word on Hacking

All businesses and their social media accounts are potential targets. Any compromise of these tools could result in irreparable damage. Fortunately, the items we’ve already discussed can help prevent a hacker from successfully breaking into your account.

Additionally, use strong passwords with unique alpha-numeric combinations. These days to create the best possible login security, you need to use upper and lower-case letters, numbers, and accepted punctuation as allowed.

Once you have one password, don’t use it for multiple logins. If a hacker manages to figure one account out, you’ll have given up the keys to the entire kingdom.

A Little Prevention Can Go A Long Way

The most important way to prevent harmful issues from social media use is to educated and even provide training for your employees.

Whether this is via a workshop, meeting or included in a section of the employee handbook, be sure your employees have the knowledge that can save your business’ social media accounts and their own from unnecessary attention and use.
